Industry leaders see India’s G20 presidency as something they can benefit from, with CII director general Chandrajit Banerjee saying it’s a unique opportunity for businesses.
India’s Presidency of the G20 began on 1 December 2022, and the government took pains to ensure that everybody knew about it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote an article, promptly shared by his Cabinet ministers. News channels and op-eds were full of commentary on how this was a huge opportunity for India.
The government announced that 100 monuments across the country would be lit up and display India’s G20 presidency logo for a week.
As far as newsmakers go, the combined might of the central government machinery and an enthusiastic media ensured that the last week has undoubtedly been the G20 presidency’s. In fact, 1 December saw the nation wake up to full front-page ads in most national dailies showcasing the beginning of India’s term as G20 president. And that’s why India’s G20 presidency is ThePrint’s Newsmaker of the Week.
